== Current Storyline: Fictional Recap ==
The current storyline follows the emergence of a new enemy group known as [[The Children of Mortis]]. This mysterious new enemy unleashed devastation upon the Clans of the Brotherhood in the Fifteenth Great Jedi War.


{{Quote| A decisive blow has been struck in the ongoing battle between the Brotherhood and the Collective. With the death of the Technocratic Guild leader known as Daggo Mouk—and the loss of Meridian Space Station—the Collective have scaled back their harassment of the Brotherhood. We harbor no illusions that Rath Oligard and his followers would ever abandon their cause to rid the Galaxy of Force Users, but their withdrawal has given the Dark Council some much needed breathing room to reinforce their hold on their respective territories. Of course, nothing is ever that simple.<br><br>The continued conflicts with the Collective—combined with meeting the material needs of the Dark Council's new home world, fleet, and personnel—has stretched the Regent's finances thin. In response, Arx Capital Exchange launched a new business venture to monetize the research, hunting, transportation, and care of rare and exotic beasts from Tooka’s to Rancor’s. While the business venture has spurred a spike in commerce in the Brotherhood's favors, creature trade and entertainment cannot provide new shipyards or consumable resources to fuel a fleet. <br><br>That's where the latest advanced scouting reports comes in to make things interesting. According to Meridian Station operators, a new faction has made its presence known in Hutt space. They call themselves the Severian Principate, an Imperial remnant group that seems to represent the opposite of the more radical ideology of the First Order or even the Collective. This group has the potential to be the trade partner and ally the Brotherhood desperately needs. They could also become yet another threat for us to face. <br><br> Like I said, nothing is ever that simple.|[[Ness'arin Ohnaka]], Director of the [[Inquisitorius]] 37 ABY}}
=== Shadows Unveiled ===
At the order of the Grand Master, the Brotherhood undertook a massive research effort, both to understand the appearance of the Children of Mortis, and the power they wielded with their Force-embued crystals. Each of the great Clans chose their own paths to study as information about the Children was slowly learned. Comprised of three groups representing the Light, Grey, and Dark sides of the Force, this group used crystals formed from the souls of Force-sensitives to create powerful weapons, armor, ships, and organic monstrosities. All of this was done at the command of their leader, The Father, who hoped to usher in a new age of unbound Force control.  


=== Great Jedi War: Ascension ===
==== Chapter 1 ====
The Council believes the Children are planning to attack Arx, their seat of power. Still rebuilding from the attack by [[The Collective]], the system was ripe for a powerful enemy to push out the Brotherhood. Yet they were mistaken.


=== Brotherhood Rising ===
Launching massive crystal asteroids, the Children of Mortis unleashed hell upon the seven Clans' home systems. Each asteroid slowing at impact to create a large impact site, The Children set off to gather what research had been found on their crystals, as well as any stored crystals the clans might possess. While this assault is launched, The Father took control of The Harbinger as is his will to take a more direct hand in overseeing the attack. Avitus Oligard, praised for his insight on each of the Clans, goes to aid Saira O'Setera as she begins the birthing process.


'''Summary:
==== Chapter 2 ====
'''
The Council frantically tries to comprise the data on the crystals, hoping to find a way to stop their power. Each of the Clans show different strengths and weaknesses against the Children as they defend their homes. With the asteroids safely planet side, the Children began the next phase of their conquest, activating the asteroids as "World Seeds". These seeds begin to drain the life from the planets they reside upon, causing even more crystals to grow.


''With the crushing loss of Technocratic Guild leader Daggo Mouk—and the subsequent seizing of Meridian Station—the Brotherhood has forced Rath Oligard to reconsider his strategies against the Brotherhood. The mastermind behind the Collective had not predicated a demonstration of unity—frail as it might have been—between the disparate and often volatile clans and the Dark Council. Oligard realized that different strategies would be needed to accomplish his goals.
==== Chapter 3 ====
A method of purifying the crystals is found, and released into the Clans' systems. Each of the Clans show great strength and power as they push back the Children from their homes. In shock, the Children retreat, seemingly vanishing into an ethereal realm. Saira gives birth to a baby boy, who begins to age toward adulthood rapidly.  


''Meanwhile, with the Collective now in recession, the Brotherhood has begun to raise its head as a power to be recognized and respected within the Unknown Regions. Thanks to the resources provided by their home planet, Arx, the Dark Council continues to expand trade and commerce while establishing loose order with the Clans.
The now-purified crystals are harvested and used by the Clans to create unique and powerful tools, defenses, and weapons. The Grand Master begins his own study of the portals the Children summoned, hoping they might find a way to destroy their enemy, and find the illusive former Grand Master, Telaris Cantor.  
''


''No success comes without its risks, of course. Tensions still run high between the Dark Council and the Clans, and reports indicate that there might be more than just the Collective that could be lurking in the shadows to challenge the Brotherhood...''
A toddler child is brought before the Father, revealed at last to be a Skeleton of pure crystal. Once known as Matthias Westland, thousands of years ago, The Father appraises the toddler as an appropriate vessel.  
''

==== Chapter 1: The Severian Principate ====
Crack grew in the factions of the Severian Principate, and Tenixir Revenants. Influenced by the mystical crystals that had been recovered over the previous few years, both factions split in half, each with one favoring peace, the other all out war. War comes to them all on the planet of Dandoran.

At the invitation of Py'zah the Hutt, The Principate and Revenants arrive to bid on a large cache of crystals, when shots are finally fired. The Brotherhood answers both sides call with each member choosing for themselves who they would like to support. Within The Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and the peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists.

'''Summary:
Things became more complicated when the Restorers revealed they had melded the crystals with soldiers, creating fearsome Restoration Troopers, large lumbering beasts that were near impossible to kill. At the same time, The Seer, representing a new entity known as The Children of Mortis, brought with her Crystal Ascendants, beings also augmented with crystal but in such a way their connection to the force was magnified greatly.

* Iden Sult, MajorDomo of the Shroud Syndicate oversees the expansion of illegal animal trade on the Godless Matron and comes across valuable data on the Collective.
* On Meridian Prime, the identity of the Severian Principate and its home within the Kastolar Sector is discussed by Qaanlug Vlux and Damien Blackadder- agents of the Arx Capital Exchange and Shroud Syndicate, respectively.  
* Director Ness’arin Ohnaka gives the Inquisitorious’ seal of approval to allow ACE and Shroud merchants and traders to forge contacts and open business transactions with the Severian Principate in order to marginalize the Collective’s influence within the breakaway Imperial polity.
* The Regent and Rhent Ghosan discuss the depleting financial assets of the Brotherhood and the impact of the war with the Collective. A possible solution takes shape requiring the efforts of the Shroud Syndicate, the Arx Capital Exchange, and the Inquisitorious deep within the Severian Principate.


==== Interlude: Care of Creatures ====
Eventually, The Harmonists won the day. The Seer retreated with Avitus Oligard in tow. The Principate agreed to begin demilitarizing their armies, and the Revenants agreed to strike out to far away systems to prevent further bloodshed.

* Dacien (Bubba), Howlader, Selika, join Seraphol for a drink on the Shadow Academy platform orbiting Arx, discussing the addition of Clan Vizsla to the Brotherhood’s ranks. 
* Dacien is optimistic, Selika has her doubts, and Howie is annoyed he has to learn new names and do more paperwork.
* Meanwhile, Evant has been called to the Throne Room to meet with the Grand Master...in private.
* Grand Master Telaris tells Evant that Morgan is being sent away on a top secret mission of importance to the Brotherhood. This leaves him with needing a right-hand man.
* Evant is offered Deputy Grand Master. At first he is shocked, having been content with Regent, but then agrees on the spot.
* Evant is told that he leaves right away with a group of representatives from each of the Clans to go on a diplomatic meeting with [[The Severian Principate]]
* Evant sasses the GM and throws shade at Morgan running off. Telaris is not amused and dismissed Evant to go get to work.
* In the Mid Rim sector of Kastolar, we get our first look at [[The Severian Principate]]'s headquarters on the planet *Sirmium*.
* It’s an oceanic world with a flat landing platform that lowers into a secret underwater Imperial mansion.
* We are introduced to the Triumvirate of [[The Severian Principate]]
* They talk amongst each other, and we get an idea of how the three think of/respect one another. Adlez, Twi’lek, is the older, wisened one. Vairya, Human, is younger and more cheerfully optimistic. Kamlin, Mirilan, is more reserved and pragmatic.
* All three women have earned their place atop this organization and should not be trifled with.
* Aemilius Crassus, Pwimtar Takrid, Harvey Daley are the three emissaries chosen to represent the Severian Principate in meeting with the Brotherhood.
* Aemilius is a Munn, Pwimtar a Quarren, and Harvey a human. #diversity
* The Triumvirate gives a briefing on what they know of the Brotherhood. Keep in mind, this is their perspective of what *they* know of *us*. They do not know the finer details of the DC’s relation with each unit or the drama’s therein.
* The Principate assumes that Morgan Sorrenn is going to be the Deputy Grand Master that they are meeting.
* Little do they know that instead of a Pirate Queen, they are getting Darth Logistics (Evant).
* Meanwhile, back on Arx, Atra is told by Telaris that he is now in charge of all the clubs finances, trade, and commerce as the new Regent.
* Telaris reveals that Dracryis has also stepped down as Fist. That said, one does not simply walk away from that kind of role/responsibility. Telaris makes him a Praetor to keep an eye on him.
* The new Fist is revealed to Alaris Jinn.
* Alaris is met by Voice Marick Tyris. The two exchange polite nods.
* Alaris is to report to Lena Rhell (head of the Navy) and Damon Nix (head of the ground forces and personnel) to get caught up to speed on being Fist.
* Marick apparently does not seem to appreciate Turbolift shafts. 
* Alaris is ready to play the game of thrones.

Current Storyline

The current storyline follows the emergence of a new enemy group known as The Children of Mortis. This mysterious new enemy unleashed devastation upon the Clans of the Brotherhood in the Fifteenth Great Jedi War.

Shadows Unveiled

At the order of the Grand Master, the Brotherhood undertook a massive research effort, both to understand the appearance of the Children of Mortis, and the power they wielded with their Force-embued crystals. Each of the great Clans chose their own paths to study as information about the Children was slowly learned. Comprised of three groups representing the Light, Grey, and Dark sides of the Force, this group used crystals formed from the souls of Force-sensitives to create powerful weapons, armor, ships, and organic monstrosities. All of this was done at the command of their leader, The Father, who hoped to usher in a new age of unbound Force control.

Great Jedi War: Ascension

Chapter 1

The Council believes the Children are planning to attack Arx, their seat of power. Still rebuilding from the attack by The Collective, the system was ripe for a powerful enemy to push out the Brotherhood. Yet they were mistaken.

Launching massive crystal asteroids, the Children of Mortis unleashed hell upon the seven Clans' home systems. Each asteroid slowing at impact to create a large impact site, The Children set off to gather what research had been found on their crystals, as well as any stored crystals the clans might possess. While this assault is launched, The Father took control of The Harbinger as is his will to take a more direct hand in overseeing the attack. Avitus Oligard, praised for his insight on each of the Clans, goes to aid Saira O'Setera as she begins the birthing process.

Chapter 2

The Council frantically tries to comprise the data on the crystals, hoping to find a way to stop their power. Each of the Clans show different strengths and weaknesses against the Children as they defend their homes. With the asteroids safely planet side, the Children began the next phase of their conquest, activating the asteroids as "World Seeds". These seeds begin to drain the life from the planets they reside upon, causing even more crystals to grow.

Chapter 3

A method of purifying the crystals is found, and released into the Clans' systems. Each of the Clans show great strength and power as they push back the Children from their homes. In shock, the Children retreat, seemingly vanishing into an ethereal realm. Saira gives birth to a baby boy, who begins to age toward adulthood rapidly.

The now-purified crystals are harvested and used by the Clans to create unique and powerful tools, defenses, and weapons. The Grand Master begins his own study of the portals the Children summoned, hoping they might find a way to destroy their enemy, and find the illusive former Grand Master, Telaris Cantor.

A toddler child is brought before the Father, revealed at last to be a Skeleton of pure crystal. Once known as Matthias Westland, thousands of years ago, The Father appraises the toddler as an appropriate vessel.

Still residing within the Cor’neria System, Rath Oligard watches streams of data regarding the Children's attack against the Brotherhood, appraising how best to use this opportunity to destroy his most hated enemy.

Escalation: Chapter 3

Crack grew in the factions of the Severian Principate, and Tenixir Revenants. Influenced by the mystical crystals that had been recovered over the previous few years, both factions split in half, each with one favoring peace, the other all out war. War comes to them all on the planet of Dandoran.

At the invitation of Py'zah the Hutt, The Principate and Revenants arrive to bid on a large cache of crystals, when shots are finally fired. The Brotherhood answers both sides call with each member choosing for themselves who they would like to support. Within The Principate, there were the brutal Restorers and the peace-seeking Harmonists. For the Revenants, there was the vengeance-seeking Retributionists and the opportunistic Expansionists.

Things became more complicated when the Restorers revealed they had melded the crystals with soldiers, creating fearsome Restoration Troopers, large lumbering beasts that were near impossible to kill. At the same time, The Seer, representing a new entity known as The Children of Mortis, brought with her Crystal Ascendants, beings also augmented with crystal but in such a way their connection to the force was magnified greatly.

Eventually, The Harmonists won the day. The Seer retreated with Avitus Oligard in tow. The Principate agreed to begin demilitarizing their armies, and the Revenants agreed to strike out to far away systems to prevent further bloodshed.
